Thank you for your email. If you watched the meeting you saw a very spirited debate. I believe people should wear masks whenever they cannot maintain 6 feet distance but I do not believe mandating the wearing of the mask is the answer.
Councilman Kevin Anderson suggesting a partnership with local businesses to encourage mask requirements.
“I am a COVID survivor, so I know the importance of how serious this is, but I don’t think we are at the level to mandate it on people. We need to get collaboration and I think businesses are key to doing this, ” said Anderson.
